Smart Text Box (block)

[Burner]

Not sure if this topic has been covered in a previous thread but here it goes:

 

I have been re-drawing and updating my drawing templates because of my recent switch to AutoCAD 2010 from AutoCAD 2008 LT. I was curious if there was a technique to insert smart text box that if you change its contents, other text boxes linked to this will update automatically. Usually my projects consist of multiple layout tabs (100+), so if a project title, page number, date, etc. changes, it is very tedious to manually change the text boxes in each tab.

 

A “create drawing template wizard” (if one exists) would definitely help!

Look into Fields using Drawing Properties.

Find and Replace works too.
